Where should I ask, that what's PGE means? Yes, I know, it's Parrot 
Grammar Engine, and I know what it is, but a beginnner maybe not. And I 
think that there are a lot of questions around like this, but people feel, 
that those questions don't fit to the lists. Or maybe not, don't know. I 
agree, that it is useful for the designers to see the questions, but if it 
will be a separate list, it still won't be impossible for them.

Anyway, I understand why you wrote what you wrote, so as there will be no 
decision, I'll ask my questions on perl6-compiler.

Bye,
   Andras
